It looks like you stuck a pistachio in some rocks

It boggles the mind knowing what that tiny little thing will end up doing.

That's what I think every time I see a Manini, wished they were called the Vanilla Pistachio Swirl Ice Cream Banana.

I've grown hundreds of these Manini Nubs and most of the time it takes months for them to start pushing a new leaf. This was the exception, for whatever reason this little gal just took off.

If you have any ideas why, please post them.

My thought is it was her time to shine and the mother was making her the temporary dominate pup and I just happened to remove her at the perfect time, but that's just a guess.

When you have a nub in coarse sand like that do you water it at all or just ignore it?

I potted up about 40 of these Manini Nubs on May 3 and here's another one starting to take off, looks to be a Whitey.
